Lower Gate Street, Conwy, LL32

Enfys Estates are exceptionally proud to present what is undoubtedly one of the most unique and historically significant homes to come to the market in recent years.

Occupying an enviable waterfront position on Lower Gate Street, within the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage town of Conwy, this remarkable Grade II Listed residence dates back approximately 600 years and was originally established as The Royal Oak Inn, one of Conwy's earliest public houses. Rich in local history, the building is believed to have welcomed travellers, merchants and townsfolk for centuries, with its origins stretching back to the late medieval period. Today, it remains a truly extraordinary home, beautifully preserving its wealth of original character while offering comfortable and versatile living accommodation.

Its location is simply unrivalled. Set directly on Conwy's picturesque quayside, the property enjoys uninterrupted views across the harbour, marina and estuary, whilst quite literally backing onto the magnificent medieval walls of Conwy Castle. Stepping outside your front door, you're immediately immersed in one of North Wales' most iconic and atmospheric settings, with the bustling quayside, historic town, independent cafés, restaurants and coastal walks all just moments away. Few homes offer such an exceptional combination of history, scenery and lifestyle.

Entering the property, you are welcomed into a wonderfully spacious open-plan living and dining room, where centuries of history are immediately evident. Exposed original timber beams, feature fireplaces and traditional shuttered windows combine to create an atmosphere of warmth and authenticity, making this an incredibly inviting space for both everyday living and entertaining.

The beautifully appointed kitchen perfectly complements the home's heritage, featuring a classic Belfast sink, an impressive Everhot range cooker, a SMEG fridge freezer, a Belling dishwasher, a Bosch washer/condensing dryer, and a filtered cold-water tap. With generous worktop space, an abundance of fitted cupboards, and a traditional walk-in larder, it offers exceptional practicality while retaining its timeless charm. The property also benefits from a Nest-controlled gas boiler, approximately 18 months old. Subject to negotiation, many of the fixtures, fittings, and appliances may be available for purchase with the property, allowing it to be offered almost as seen.

From the living accommodation, there is direct access to the enclosed rear courtyard—a truly unique outdoor space where the rear boundary is formed by the original medieval walls of Conwy Castle itself. Enjoying your morning coffee or evening glass of wine beneath one of Britain's most celebrated historic monuments is an experience few properties can offer.

The accommodation continues to impress over the upper floors. The first floor offers a generous family bathroom complete with a large bath and shower over, together with the convenience of a separate shower room. Two beautifully proportioned double bedrooms occupy this floor, each retaining original fireplaces and enjoying breathtaking views across Conwy Harbour, the marina and surrounding coastline, creating ever-changing scenery throughout the seasons.

The second floor provides two further spacious double bedrooms, together with a substantial landing area currently utilised as a home office, offering excellent flexibility for modern family living or those working from home.

Throughout the property, original beams, fireplaces and a wealth of period features have been carefully preserved, creating a home that effortlessly balances medieval character with everyday comfort. Every room tells a story, making this far more than simply a house—it is a rare opportunity to own an important piece of Conwy's rich history.

Homes of this calibre and historical significance rarely become available. Whether as a distinctive permanent residence, an exceptional holiday home or a unique lifestyle purchase, this outstanding property offers an opportunity unlike any other.

A home where history lives on, where the medieval castle walls form your garden boundary, where the harbour becomes your daily outlook, and where every day feels like a holiday. Viewing is not simply recommended—it is essential to fully appreciate the remarkable character, history and truly incomparable setting this extraordinary home has to offer.
